Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty: New Panam Romance Ending

Caging Songbird felt like a pretty evil choice just to get a new ending and although V keeps his life he loses everything in the process.

i feel like V trusted what they said about few days or weeks at most, and when going in a coma, it was impossible for V to contact people due to this unforseen situation. i feel like having someone to contact in the case of an emergency would be best and more realistic, like having the nurse or someone from FIA call with an update and allowing close friends to visit, but hey, V is alive, and its more open ending that could lead to something. everything else V isent surviving or highly impleied that doing something with 99% or not coming out alive, i want the space casino ending expension and have more of mr blue eyes, because he had contact with songbird, so he has to be involved somewhere, somehow if they were to make another DLC.

I mean in the game you can text them saying you are going into surgery but he only think it will be 1 month this makes the ending even more annoying because everyone knew what he was doing sure they where not kept up to date but it just makes the logic of the character so stupid the worse one is panam who won't even talk to you which is so stupid i have heard theory's that she deleted herself thinking v died honestly i would prefer that than her just abandoning him

[@jokerhalo1]

Or you know, the NUSA could have also told them he's in a coma. like obivously not give all the details but some kind of story

[@Chuck____]

All of these endings are depressing af, but I expected it given the nature of the plot. For me, the best ending is still where V and Johnny storm Arasaka together on the suicide mission. The dialogue of "Huh, you finally discovered what it takes to be a Legend" is absolute chills for me. V accepts his fate, and goes out guns blazing with a hot iron in his hands right through the front door, absolutely badass. Two Brothers in arms going on one last mission together, V finally stops fearing death so much, and just says f*ck it.

Being involved with the NUSA for god's sake pitted you with this chance to live (although without chromes, but to be fair, I get a feeling that V's experience alone will give him quite a decent life) so the fantasized idea that going off into the distance with Panam in the nomad ending would give you a chance at life? Don't think so, he is probably as good as dead in that ending. And when you die, seeing how Panam copes with things, she is gonna end up miserable after a few months anyway.

[@orrthehunter]

well considering this is Cyberpunk series, the sad part is that this is still going to happen to Panam after V dies in the Nomad ending since most likely they never find a way to save V and he still dies 6 months later. Ya the 6 months were probably the best moments of their life but for Panam, she may develop into this since the trigger for this 2 years later self of her was V's assumed Death so she acted the way she is through the 2 years to move on from V's death. It is another message this ending shows beyond just the "die in blaze of glory or live and be a nobody" being "it is sometimes better to die thinking you made a difference rather than live and see nothing you did matters in the end."

[@Cheli-ee4kz]

@@orrthehunter And what makes you so sure that V won't find a cure in that ending? Biotechnica could probably offer him a cure, even better than the one he got in this ending, since the corporation specializes in just the area V needs.

@Cheli-ee4kz if I remember correctly Panam and Mitch knew some folks near Arizona that knew about V's condition. She alluded to it if V chooses to leave. So Panam is willing to continue things with V if there was shot it could work. One characteristic Panam has always shown is her resourcefulness.

Honestly. Knowing now that there is an actual cure, a cure that the NUSA & Arasaka could have given you, makes it all the more plausible that Panam and the Aldecaldos can and will find a cure for V, especially if he/she has prior knowledge that NUSA possesses a way to cure them.

[@nagger8216]

I would imagine V would still go to the FIA for a cure after he left Night City with Panam since Phantom Liberty is canon, except it would be different since the other nomads would know and be kept in the loop more, and even during and after the coma I doubt they'd abandon V after storming Arasaka tower together.

The NUSA hired them to attack it, the bomb was supposed to go off underground but Smasher brought it ground-level before it went off, causing a lot more damage than anyone intended. Johnny was a pawn in the NUSA's war with Arasaka, not a terrorist. The public definitely would think this, but the higher ups in the government would know the truth. So really, the NUSA doesn't have much reason for killing Johnny, not if they weren't willing to kill someone like Blackhand as well, since that was also his mission and failure.

This really just proves to me that the only real relationships V had were with Jackie, Misty, and Viktor. After you’re of no use they cut off contact. All the other “happy endings” were V going along with what the other people wanted (leaving NC) but whenever V insisted to do what he wanted (live long or spend his short time as an NC legend) they’d leave him. This kinda taints the image I once had of the characters like Panam and Judy, all these endings make them seem absolutely selfish especially towards a man with a terminal illness.

[@Jasondurgen]

Dang I think you just gave me a new perspective of the story. I was always for the nomad ending with panam, and I still lean towards it, but you make some good points. I just wish someone would have common sense to tell their partner and friends “hey folks, I might be out cold for a few years while I get cured of my terminal illness. Idk where I’m going but don’t forget about me.” And even if time does pass, maybe people die, they move out of the country, maybe they even fall out of love, at least they don’t completely turn on V like they were a goddamn menace. Definitely a very strangely written set of endings, but in my opinion, every little thing about the game is strange I think, so it all adds up in the philosophical calculator

[@krisskrosssss]

@@Jasondurgen I find the Tower ending to be the best ending. Although in face value it seems like the most depressing, it's the most hopeful imo. V learns that although you feel like you've hit rock bottom and have lost everyone, you can still recover. Misty was able to recover after losing Jackie, V and her shop. Judy was able to recover after losing Evelyn and V. That's why after V says goodbye to Misty he/she smiles in the end knowing that although this is the lowest point of their life, you're alive and cured, people before have recovered from similar circumstances and it's a start to a new hope. Not dragged down by other people's decisions, fake relationships, or ending up your last days alone. Finally not worrying about the little time you have left, but in search of hope and something real.

[@AveChristusRex789]

You gotta take into account that V knew Jackie, Misty and Viktor for way longer than Judy and Panam. V only knew Judy and Panam for 2 weeks tops canon-wise…it’s entirely possible they could have went on to form just as strong, if not stronger, relationships with V if they had a lot more time. Realistically, after you’ve known someone for that short amount of time, you’re gonna move on after 2 years. Plus, we don’t exactly know what happened to someone like Panam, it’s also possible that she could’ve passed away or something

[@ggoddkkiller1342]

Panam was also real, Mitch calls because she is dead! If you talked with Mitch you would know he is a very good guy so he just doesn't want to tell V right after he woke up and still suffering..

Thanks for saving me the time in doing this ending. I sent Songbird to the moon, then went straight back to the Aldecados ending to finish off my Cyberpunk story for good. It's not the perfect ending, but... idk, given the tragedy of night city I felt it was fitting. Reed was never going to allow Songbird to be free, and though she was far from perfect, nobody deserves to be a tortured AI guinea pig under Myers for the rest of eternity. I also felt Reed was a tired man, who never truly could ever let go of war, so in a sense... I felt he could finally rest in his own way. Gave Alex my coin so she can go into early retirement after my "death" supposedly. Then, disappear into the great unknown with the Nomads, riding on that last bit of hope that maybe, I can live a fulfilling life still, just like Songbird rode onto that hope to the very end. Even Johnny of course makes it out with ALT, hopefully on his own journey beyond the Blackwall.

[@native5072]

Well (SPOILER ALERT), the ending indeed does seem solid, except for the fact that all of V's friends moved on, are dead or went outta town or don't wanna stay in contact with him after his coma. For example, Victor still supports V, but you really feel how disconnected he's gotten over the two year time span that V's been in the coma. Misty closed her esoterica shop. Panam doesn't talk to V anymore. Johnny died when they removed the Relic. Jackie is still dead. In this ending, V is completely on his own. Yeah, he lives a normal live, might find new people. But he'll have to deal with the loss of all of his old friends and family as well as his capability to be a chromed out legend. To me, it is depressing af to see V getting sent away by Vick in this ending. To me, it is depressing af to see V vanish into the crowd, being a lonely nobody. But yeah, I guess that's the price of being alive in this scenario.

[@sen8639]

Also every other ending either leaves v with a few months to live or death. Also any ending that involves hooking up to mikoshi results in V’s death. Alt kills us with soul killer, makes a copy, and then stuffs that copy back in our body. I think this is the “best” ending, for V at least

[@L_Lawliet1907]

@@sen8639 Except its not. I won't say that the Panam/Judy ending is the best, but the one that's overall best is the legend ending. Not only do you leave a massive reputation in night city, you also get contacted by the man that set up the deal with Songbird in the first place. Blue eyes contacts V and offers him a cure, for the casino heist. It's quite clear that overall the one where he becomes a NC legend is the best ending, as it doesn't cause anyone from your end to die in the final mission and you are content with where you are even if you die. It also has the best survival chance other than this ending. And yeah mikoshi does "kill us" but we never experience us dying. We might be an engram back in V's body again but its still the same dude with the same experience, memories and feelings.

Never let anything or anyone to take you down, despite your physicall or mental issues. If you can open your eyes in the morning nexy day, try to became better person, find a way to push your limits.

[@camraid9]

Yes, this the fan service we want. This what our V would do... why did they force it this other way

[@karambiatos]

@@camraid9 Because the devs have a way of forcing V to be quiet at important moments in the entire game to shoe horn what they want in. Even though it's clear that V isn't really the sit quietly and say nothing type of person.

[@camraid9]

@karambiatos yeah... they made a mistake here. Still a 9/10 game though

[@ScotttheCyborg]

@@karambiatos I think the real issue is that the only romances V could possibly hope to revive would be with Kerry or Panam. Judy is married and he wouldn't want to screw up her new life, and River has become corrupt, something V tried to avoid. So that leaves out the girl-girl romance and female V - male romance, and you just can't have that. Trying to rebuild with Kerry doesn't have the interesting game possibilities, because the real issue with Kerry is he's just too busy with his life. Panam is the one with the deep emotional issue that would require significant effort to approach and deal with, and there's just too many people who would scream about how the devs were anti-gay bigots if the only gameplay to recover romance was male player female love. And the real V that loved Panam wouldn't let her go, so it's either write a game with no romance possibilities at all, screwing Panam-V, or write a whole Panam-V story on top, pissing off the other possibilities. Only way out of it is to exclude all past romances and thereby screw V, or write whole new stories with V as an NPC fixer, which I could live with. I'd prefer a Panam redemption arc, with new characters as possible romances for the other three version, but that wouldn't work unless V was a player. Maybe as a fixer he could issue a mission to force contact with Panam/River, or kidnap Kerry, but Judy is in a good spot and V would never screw that up.

She isn't rational or logical, but she's ride or die as long as you're there for her when she needs you. V stopped being there, though through no fault of their own.

Especially when V explains that he was in a coma and literally had no way to contact her because of it, the first thing she should do is call him back. Well, he was in an unplanned coma, how was he supposed to talk to her? In this ending, Panam shows how immature she is, she can't even say goodbye to him properly and go her own way. She gets offended about something that V had no control over, and even when he explains everything to her, she doesn't even send the message. So, she sends Mitch to tell V about all this, really? It's so pathetic and sad that Panam is like this and even if she doesn't want to have contact with V anymore, she should care that he saved his life beacuse they were friends. But no, she will be offended and will not answer instead of being happy that V is alive. It's good that she have a new life without V, but her behavior is mean. No explanation, no goodbye, just beeing mean and act like a child.

[@alexanderlaird6206]

She killed herself bro

[@shanelizotte6318]

I agree. Mitch was acting pretty awkward and out of character. I think he was trying to hint that she killed herself or died trying to find V. You wouldn’t get 55 missed calls from someone who doesn’t care about you.

[@jaycornu3351]

This is REALLY dumb, in a game of choices is there not any other way? can you not have V tell her about the surgery? ALSO, hearing he JUST WOKE UP FROM A COMA i feel like that should make her feel better at least? does that mean Panam just wasn't very loyal to begin with then? that she's just willing to give up when? i mean just seems like abit of a change of character for her yknow?

[@Senzunia]

V probably didn't expecting to be in a coma for 2 years, and under that impression he most likely didn't want to worry her Panam is also a nomad, which isn't a very easy life to live. I'm sure for a long while she was depressed and furious that V wasn't responding, but I don't think she could afford to give up while her family is still alive. so she moves on

[@alexanderlaird6206]

Yeah I'm pretty sure Mitch was being merciful not telling V the whole truth and there's a reason Panam can't answer V's calls...

@@thechangamire3495 Yeah if you side with Reed the Panam ending is best like he could still go see Reed after but if you side with Songbird i think there is still a chance that when she gets cured on the moon that she could help it is mentioned that the person who got her the ticket to the moon was the man with blue eyes the same guy who gives V the job where he goes to space it is implied that blue eyes might have a way to save V so maybe when he is up there he can link up with her

[@route77productions]

I get the open ended feeling of all the endings is to let the player fill in what they think can happen. Sure, Panam and V could meet again, V is still young and has his whole life ahead of him. He could track them down, the Afterlife would definitely help him. Or he could leave it all behind and become a fixer, go to Poland with Misty, leave Night City or work for Langley with Reed. Who knows? I get the idea behind this ending is that V now has endless possibilities on what he/she could do. Still prefer the Nomad ending. At least there, V and Panam ride off into the sunset together with the hope that maybe V can find a cure.

[@garrukthewildspeaker262]

Same thoughts. V has connections in afterlife, in a white house, in arasaka, he can be anyone. Most of the Night City inhabitans don't have chrome anyway, cus it's too expensice, nevertheless, they're doing just fine.

[@witcherpie]

this is the first ending like this that i see where you part with Johnny in good terms, incredible

[@VictorMontel]

Damn, Johnny looks so sad in the AV. The way he just takes off his glasses and starts staring at the wall his hard. He knows he isn't dying, but he knows he lost a true friend in V. And the way he calls V by his name just confirms this, since V only lets those truly intimate to him call him by his real name. Each time i watch one of the videos about this new ending just confirms to me how this is not the ideal ending, it's just another one. It's bitter as shit since not V nor Johnny get to accomplish their final goals: V becoming the legend of Night City and Johnny getting revenge on Smasher.

[@VictorMontel]

@@23Raind with the life V has had and with everything he knows, he would never live a quiet life. He would most likely be hunted for the rest of his life. And media gives us plenty of examples of this, including John Wick and Michael from GTA. And about us players not wanting V to become a legend and wanting to give him a quiet life, yes, we have plenty of choices in terms of ending, but is it all cohesive with the story being told? To me it doesn't work.

[@VictorMontel]

@@23Raind both wanted quiet lives but their past didn't allow for that to happen. I'm using their example to say that a quiet life isn't possible for V, and it's even worst if you consider that Night City doesn't allow a quiet life.

[@VictorMontel]

@23arceus to still die anyway. V is permanently alive in this one and he can't even defend himself from a couple of common thugs, imagine what would happen if NetWatch, Militech and Arasaka would do to a defenceless V, who, I reiterate, has some insanely valuable knowledge. V would never be safe, unless he takes the FIA job. This is why I love the reaper ending with V returning to his body. He loses Johnny, but still has plenty of motivation to keep fighting.

[@notleviathan855]

I wish that instead of the end credit scene where Mitch calls us, there'd be a sort of 'skip' a few months later. V is working with Reed as a sort of man in the chair, definitely better but not 100%. Mitch calls, tells V not to call anymore because Panam is getting over it. He has Reed look into Panam, figure out where she is, and despite being told not to, V goes out to find her. I really would love to see what happens 'after' these endings, and I REALLY wish we were allowed to continue to call/text panam. I think that if V just ghosted her, it'd be something different. But given that he pretty much explained that, he was going somewhere for around a month after just speaking with the FIA, and then vanished for two years, calls her and drops a voicemail that he had surgery and was in a COMA for two years, she has no real right to be mad. I'm going to guess, that with the way Mitch was talking. Panam found someone else, even if it's some sort of rebound after V. Panam can straight up scream at her father figure, burn 90% of the bridges she knows, but doesn't have the balls to tell V how she really feels when he's available after two years. Somethings not right. What bothers me even more is the whole 'combat implants' thing. My V, didn't use any combat enhancers, a majority of my gameplay was sitting behind cover, hacking a camera, and frying peoples brain via quickhacks. Cyberdecks aren't technically combat implants, so I don't understand why they blanket treat V like he's some sort of cripple. I'm sure that given some time, and intensive treatment/physical therapy V can go back to slightly normal again. Maybe not fighting Adam Smasher, but easily capable of quickhacking people to death. It's just weird, my V was pretty much organic other than better eyes, mantis blades I used once. (literally only got them for cosmetic reasons), and my Arasaka Mk.4 Cyberdeck. I can understand them saying 'no more combat implants.' but dude, my V was objectively the best netrunner in night city, my shit was maxed out. Cyberdecks are an operating system, not a combat implant. I get they can't alter the lines of an A list actor for every build, but cmon dude. End of the day, I still took up Reed on his offer.

[@Suksass]

I think this is due to cyberdeck being implanted into your head acts as a combat implant. Hacking strains your brain, so any proper hacking or net runing is just as likely to kill you as normal implant combat.

[@Repsikka]

I was actually angry few days ago when I finished the story with this ending, even after the initial shock I feel like it's unrealistic, I get it, Cyberpunk is a game with no happy endings, but you told her that you're going away for an operation, operations have risks, me personally, if I was Panam would presume V was dead, and would be relieved when I'd hear from him, and being in a coma for 2 years should be a valid reason for not picking up the phone, and I'd be just happy that my loved one is alive after all, I understand that they're not together anymore, but to not even talk with them is just not realistic, imo, they should have done something different why can't be in touch, 2 years is a long time and the cyberpunk world is dangerous, I'd think it would have been even sadder, but more importantly more realistic if Panam died in a warren shiv attack or something.

[@peekabbu83]

And it what reality does NUSA not tell people your in a coma... There aint no benefit they do the surgery and put you in a post opp hospital. now way the nomads are that fickle not after everything they did together. The better tragic heart breaking story would have been they got into some trouble and a bad fight broke because of the shenanigans your raised and it kills the family. You travel back to night city where a nomad recognizes you and drives you to their graves. That would have stung more

This ending hits a lot harder. When V and Johnny aren't at each other's throats the whole time. As for Panam, she's either dead and Mitch was trying to spare V feelings. Or he scooped Panam up on the rebound and doesn't want to risk losing her. By leting her know/find out that V is alive and didnt ghost her.

Someone else already said it, the people the most about "everything for family" and "friends" are also the ones to abandon you the hardest. Panam's reaction makes no sense, and is cruel beyond belief. She knew you'd be undergoing a surgical procedure and you might be gone for about a month. After over a month of no contact, rather than getting mad, she should have started suspecting something went wrong an started looking for you instead. That is what the real Panam would have done. Remember how she talked in some of the other endings? She said she'd kill whoever hurt us. But nope, she just gave up on V and apparently concluded he did it on purpose? Never wants to see him again? Incomprehensible. Out of character.

[@fonho5861]

I saw someone put forward a theory on the Internet. Panam actually went to look for V immediately when he realized something was wrong, and then died on the way to look for V.
